Julian Casablancas in NYC

julian

Last Wed, Kuririn and I went to see Julian Casablancas’ show in NYC which was sold out right away! We’re super excited to see his performance!(I should say I was excited.)

I’ve listened to Strokes and liked their first album. Then JC started doing solo project! His music has 80’s sound and we think he pulled out really really good.

I love his singing voice a lot too! Of course he’s super attractive. So many young girls were screaming(and me too…)

Now I want to see Strokes show–!
